Possible aircraft attack

There has been a lot of contemplation over the consequences of occurrence of an attack by a large aircraft similar to the 2001 World Trade Centre attack in New York. This time the target being a nuclear facility aiming at radioactive materials. Studies show that nuclear reactors would be robust as compared to any other civil installations used to resist such attacks. A thorough study financed by the US department of Energy and conducted by US Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) concluded that the US reactor would be strong enough to withstand attacks from large commercial aircraft.

The Former defence force chief Peter Cosgrove has pleaded for Australia to embrace nuclear power, criticising the “daily scrapping” between politicians about climate change.

According to the most recent Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change**, nuclear?has greater potential for greenhouse abatement by 2030 than any other energy source,?and is second only to hydroelectricity in least cost per tonne of CO2 saved.

With all the political talk about emissions targets, it is hard to get a solid reference point.? Here is one such reference.? Taking?the?long term sustainable emissions level from the?Stern Review (UK?Government 2007), we find that a 97% emissions cut will ultimately be?required in Australia’s case.
